Advocaat

1. 1

   Beat the yolks, sugar, vanilla and salt until thick.

2. 2

   Whisk in the brandy, very slowly, until well blended.

3. 3

   Transfer the mixture to a heavy saucepan or double boiler.

4. 4

   Whisk over gentle, steady heat until its thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

5. 5

   (Go slowly, or the emulsion will separate.)

6. 6

   Remove from heat, let cool, then transfer the advocaat to a clean, sealable bottle or other container.

7. 7

   Seal, and chill in the refrigerator before serving.

8. 8

   Some people like to let it cure for up to a week; in the interest of safety, I prefer to use it within two or three days.
